Summer Nail Trends

Tribal

Tribal is a huge trend this spring and summer so why not wear it on your nails!? When matching your outfit to your nails be aware of the colors and be sure not to clash two patterns even if they are the same. Stick to solid colors that relate to your nails. In this outfit, I stuck with neutrals for the shirt, shorts and shoes and added the pop of green in the bag.

Floral

Floral nails are light and girly and can be matched with many other colors. By pairing your nails with a color like this light blue shirt, it creates unexpected twist on the classic floral. Then finish off the look with tan shoes and a matching handbag.

Duo Patterned

Duo patterned nails are two seperate patterns or in this case a solid and a pattern parted by a diagonal line. You could go many different ways about styling your outfit with these but it all depends on your color and patterned choices. Since the pattern in this nail choice is light and simple you are safe adding the same pattern into your outfit. In this case, I showcased the pattern in these Topshop shorts! I paired them with a white collared sleeveless shirt, tucked in, with studded oxford shoes and a beautiful tan Rebecca Minkoff bag!

Caviar

Two years ago, if someone told you they were putting little beads on their nails, you would think they were crazy! Who knew it would look so chic! Cavier nails tend to look a tad on the fancy side so be sure to rev up your outfit just alittle bit to match the style! This neon tulip skirt adds the perfect pop of color to make your caviar manicure really stand out! My shoe pick is a wedge because it makes the look alittle more casual for day time! You want to look fancy but not overdone and a simple black wedge is the way to go!

One Love. Stay Chic.

Damaged Denim Shorts

Damaged Denim is a huge trend this summer, whether it is slashed, studded, lace, or colored. There are so many ways to style them. You can dress them up for a night in the city or pair them with a Wildfox Baggy Beach Jumper for a more beachy casual look. When you look at them, you may automatically think they look too dirty and destroyed, but by pairing them with the right top and accessories you can turn the look from hippy to city chic! Later next week i will have a post with three or four styled outfits using destroyed denim to show the different styles you can wear them by changing a few minor pieces. I would love to see how you style your damaged denim! Tweet a picture of your look here.

One Love. Stay Chic.

Mint Obsession

Mint is a fabulous color (and flavor!) that has been all over the runway for spring and summer these past two years. Mint is probably one of the only pastel shades that can work not only spring but also summer! My personal favoite way to style mint accessories or clothing is by addng a base of a neutral cream paired with gold jewelery. If you are up for a litte fashion risk, you could colorblock your oufit with many different shades of mint, tastefully, of course! Have fun with it whether you stay classy and sophisticated or daring and bold! I'd love to see all of your styled outfits using mint! Tweet them to me here!
